Isabel II’s four children —King Carlos, Ana, Andrés and Eduardo— join the vigil for 10 minutes around the coffin
King Carlos III and his brothers, Ana, Andrés, and Eduardo, have joined shortly after 7:30 p.m. local time [una hora más en la España peninsular] to the vigil of Elizabeth II. The four children of the queen will remain for 10 minutes around the coffin in Westminster Hall, as they did in the funeral chapel installed in Edinburgh earlier this week.
During the vigil, the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, son of the queen, will be able to wear his military uniform as a “special sign of respect”, as confirmed this week by Buckingham Palace. Andrés, the second son of Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, had to abandon his public activities as a member of royalty after being involved in the scandal of sexual abuse of minors by the late American pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and after reaching an out-of-court settlement with a woman who accused him of having abused her when she was a minor. Prince Andrew has been deprived of his military titles since then, this is the reason why he does not usually wear a military uniform, as his brothers Ana and Eduardo do. (Agencies)
